Study in the States: This is a signature program of the Lee Honors College. All expenses except tuition are covered for every Â鶹´«Ã½ who participates. Students travel with a faculty expert for one to two weeks of intense, place-based study. Additional funding will enable more Â鶹´«Ã½s to benefit from a greater variety of courses. .

Conference Presentation Scholarships: Honors Â鶹´«Ã½s are strongly encouraged to present their original research and creative work at national and international conferences and professional venues. Funds are needed to help offset the costs of travel to conferences, registration fees and lodging. .

The Michael Goodwin Financial Assistance Fund: The Michael Goodwin Financial Assistance Fund supports Â鶹´«Ã½s of the Lee Honors College who require additional financial support due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. medical bills, transportation or other emergency expenses that fall outside the official WMU estimated cost of assistance). .

Medallion Scholarships: The Medallion Scholarship is the most prestigious merit-based scholarship sponsored by WMU. As college costs continue to rise, additional funds are needed to increase the size of current Medallion Scholarships and to create new named Medallion Scholarships to fund more of the many meritorious Medallion Scholarship competitors. .
